Announcement — Reference list

ANNOUNCEMENT - REFERENCE LIST References should be brought together at the end of a paper, under the heading References. The names of all authors must be given. The numbering of the references should be in order of citation in the text, not in alphabetical order. The list of references should always be given on a separate sheet of the typescript, double- or triple-spaced throughout, and should be clearly distinguishable from footnotes. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of their references and should check whether every reference in the text appears in the list of references and vice versa. Biochimica et Biophysica Acta implements the recommendations of the Committee of Editors of Biochemical Journals of the International Union of Biochemistry concerning presentation of reference lists. The recommended styles for citation of journals [1] (abbreviated according to the Bibliographic Guide for Editors and Authors *), books [2] and multi-author books [3] are given in the following examples: 1 Pispa, J.P. and Buchanan, J.M. (1971) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 247, 181-184 2 Dixon, M. and Webb, E.C. (1964) Enzymes, 2nd edn., pp. 565-567, Longmans Green, London 3 Brachet, J. (1967) in Comprehensive Biochemistry (Flor- kin, M. and Stotz, E.H., eds.), Vol. 28, pp. 23 -54, Elsevier, Amsterdam Note that first and last page numbers are to be included in the reference list. Unpublished work and work in preparation should not be listed in the References but should be men- tioned in the text as follows: (Spector, R., Jr. and Glimcher, J., unpublished data). Reference to a 'private communication' should not be made. A 'personal communication' should be referred to only when permission of the person who made the per- sonal communication is obtained; it should be men- tioned in the text, not in the list of references. Reference to a paper as 'in the press' implies that it has been accepted for publication and therefore evidence (such as a photocopy of the notice of acceptance from the journal concerned) should accompany the submitted typescript. The year quoted for such a reference should be the best estimate, revised, if necessary, at proof stage; it should be included in the list of references, the title of the journal being followed by the words 'in the press'; for example: 4 Smith, J.P. and Jones, J.E. (1979) J. Biol. Chem., in the press Further detailed information on reference lists and the preparation of papers for publication in Bio- chimica et Biophysica Acta can be found in Biochim. Biophys.

ANNOUNCEMENT - REFERENCE LIST
References should be brought together at the end of a paper, under the heading References. The names of all authors must be given. The numbering of the references should be in order of citation in the text, not in alphabetical order. The list of references should always be given on a separate sheet of the typescript, double- or triple-spaced throughout, and should be clearly distinguishable from footnotes. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of their references and should check whether every reference in the text appears in the list of references and vice versa.
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta implements the recommendations of the Committee of Editors of Biochemical Journals of the International Union of Biochemistry concerning presentation of reference lists. The recommended styles for citation of journals [1] (abbreviated according to the Bibliographic Guide for Editors and Authors *), books [2] and multi-author books [3] are given in the following examples:
1 Pispa, J.P. and Buchanan, J.M. (1971) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 247, 181-184
2 Dixon, M. and Webb, E.C. (1964) Enzymes, 2nd edn., pp. 565-567, Longmans Green, London
3 Brachet, J. (1967) in Comprehensive Biochemistry (Flor- kin, M. and Stotz, E.H., eds.), Vol. 28, pp. 23 -54, Elsevier, Amsterdam
Note that first and last page numbers are to be included in the reference list.
Unpublished work and work in preparation should not be listed in the References but should be men- tioned in the text as follows: (Spector, R., Jr. and Glimcher, J., unpublished data). Reference to a 'private communication' should not be made. A 'personal communication' should be referred to only when permission of the person who made the per- sonal communication is obtained; it should be men- tioned in the text, not in the list of references.
Reference to a paper as 'in the press' implies that it has been accepted for publication and therefore evidence (such as a photocopy of the notice of acceptance from the journal concerned) should accompany the submitted typescript. The year quoted for such a reference should be the best estimate, revised, if necessary, at proof stage; it should be included in the list of references, the title of the journal being followed by the words 'in the press'; for example:
4 Smith, J.P. and Jones, J.E. (1979) J. Biol. Chem., in the press
Further detailed information on reference lists and the preparation of papers for publication in Bio- chimica et Biophysica Acta can be found in Biochim. Biophys. Acta 582, 1-20 and in the revised (1979) edition of the brochure Information for Contributors to Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, which is available free of charge from the BBA Editorial Secretariat (P.O.
